FYI: I had a B8 S4 on H&R OE springs and it rubbed quite a bit with the ECS Flush Kit Spacer combo, even cut out the rubber underneath which helped some. I then sold that B8 and got a B8.5 S4, put the same spring and spacer combo and never rub. I do have the adaptive suspension.. not sure if that is why or if its just car specific.

Thats interesting, I wonder what the diff is between the b8 and b8.5 suspention and springs.

It might depend on what the alignment settings are, and how far the subframe is shifted relative to the body between the two cars. In my case, both my B8 and now my B8.5 have the rear subframe apparently shifted toward the passenger side such that when running 255/35-19 tires at +33 offset with equal camber and toe settings, the rear driver side is rub free while the rear passenger side rubs like crazy. There is a visible difference too - the rear passenger wheel clearly sits farther out than the rear driver. I have no idea why they build these cars like this. I'm curious to know on which corner(s) was Seattle996 getting rubbing with his setup?

H&R sports - Avant Garde wheels - 19" X 9.5" ET40 - running 265/35/19 Michelin PS4S's . Only rubs when I have at least 1 passenger in the back and I hit a bump going down hills, right where the bumper fascia connects to the wheel well (there's a bump that sticks out right there). I have not tried to correct yet...maybe next spring
